Strike Witches: Fallen Humanity

Upgrade (to be reworked)

The door of a hangar opened, letting the light invade the dark place.
At the centre of the room there it was: A black jetpack, with a wingspan of two meters. Two propellers built into the jetpack, leading to a form Andrea knew very well.

Andrea: This... This is the B-2 Spirit.

Ursula: What is it?

Andrea: Ever heard of Northrop-Grumman?

Samantha: It probably doesn't exist still. Are they from Liberion?

Andrea: Yeah, they produced a stealth bomber very similar to this.

Ursula: Of this dimensions?

Andrea: Oh, no. It's a bomber with a wingspan of 20 meters, it can carry the atomic bombs.

Samantha: Enough talking, why did you call it a jetpack?

Andrea: The DRL tried to make some of this, it would seem that they stole your inventions, Hartmann.

Ursula: We won't let that happen, this time.
C'mon, try it.

He wore the safety belts and attached himself with the jetpack.

Andrea: Ok, I'm ready. Give me the signal.

Ursula: It doesn't take off vertically, you have to come out here.

Andrea: Oh, my bad.

Samantha: Wait, let's see if you can start it.

Andrea: Ok... How do I do it?

Samantha: I'm not a Witch, don't ask me.

Ursula: You should concentrate and think explicitly on starting the engine.

Andrea: I... I'm trying.

Some seconds later, one of the engines started to function.

Andrea: Hmm, it's not much.

Ursula: Well, it's your first time.

Samantha: That's already something compared to the Striker Unit.

Mio: We have arrived, how's it going?

Ursula: He's starting the engine.

Yoshika: You can do it, Andrea, I also had that kind of problem at the start.

Andrea: ...The more the body makes contact, the more powers it gets.
I have an idea.

Ursula: Need something?

Andrea: Could you give me my rifle? I have something to test.

Barkhorn grabbed he's rifle and gave it to him.
He looked for his bayonet, making sure it was sharp enough.

Lynette: What are you doing?

Andrea: Contact.

He inserted the bayonet into his skin, he didn't say a word, but the expression was a simple way to express the pain.

Minna: Holy-!

Samantha: Why the fuck you did that?!

Andrea: I... Need more contact.

Mio: Mijafuji!

Yoshika: Understood!

Mijafuji used her powers to cure him.
He rejected 'cause the engines were starting to activate themselves.

Andrea: It... It's working!

Ursula: But you can't dry out of blood, you have to stop!

The alarm made his way in the air.
A radio operator screamed the coordinates where to engage.
